[edit] Career

Tex Benedict began his wrestling career aged 15, with NWA:UK Hammerlock, in Kent making his debut against Sebastien P. Sterling. Tex learned under the tuition of former FWA champion Justin Richards.

Tex held this title for a record 2 years 109 days, before losing the title to Liam Thompson following interference from Lionheart. Tex Benedict was involved in the most memorable of storylines in British Championship Wrestling history, when he used a personal story that was on the front page of The Daily Record to launch a scathed attacked on Lionheart, who would wind up getting his own back in the harshest of ways by costing Tex Benedict his first title in professional wrestling.

In June 2006, Tex Benedict captured the British Welterweight Championship from Kid Regis in Walthamstow, London on an LDN show. Tex Benedict continues to hold this championship, and seeks to defend it at every available oppourtunity. In September 2006, Tex Benedict won the LDN British Championship in Enfield London. He held this title until January 2007, when Notorious Jon Ricthie defeated him.
